Finally yesterday I decided it was time to upgrade from Win 7 RC to the released version. Everything went well but when I try to bring up my VMs today, they didn't connect to the internet.

I started the "Virtual Network Editor" and noticed that none of the virtual adapters had an external connection of "Bridged".

I tried to VMnet0 to Bridged but I got the "Cannot change network to bridged: There are no un-bridged host network adapters" message.

The solution for me was: Click on the "Restore Default" buttons. This removed the virtual adapters and re-added them. 

Everything back to normal now.

Hi Oscar,

I run into the same problem with host Windows 2008 Server R2 Standard as Workstation. For me the "Restore Default" button is not the solution. I still don't have a bridged connection.... Can anyone help?

Greetings,

In the Virtual Network Editor, you'll probably find VMnet0 (Bridged) has the "Bridged to" setting as Automatic.

Change this to point at a specific real network interface.

Now you should be able to create/configure another VMnet bridged connection.

You must do some task:
1. Change VMNet0 to any physical NIC (not automatic).
2. Change any other VMNet to any other physical NIC.
